Fiber medium(not heavy) meals for people with chronic constipation?

EDIT 2: Please, stop offering constipation relief techniques, including medication, fiber supplements, enemas, exercises, etc. This is a request for *meal ideas and recipes*. I thought that was clear in the last paragraph, but I’m realizing that it wasn’t, so I want to save folks time now by attempting to squash more repetitive medical advice comments.

I have a personal history with chronic constipation. I have found that super fiber-heavy meals are what cause the constipation… which is completely counter to common medical advice. These types of meals tend to be the ones that are recommended in most healthy food subs. The foods that really set me off tend to be red meat, raw veggies, brassicas, and corn.

So, I’m wondering if anyone has any fiber medium(not fiber heavy) recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I’m looking for meals that fall somewhere between 5-9 grams of fiber per serving, and have a good mix of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

I supplement my meals with specifically-timed snacks and supplements to get me to the 25 g of fiber that I need.

Side note: I’m not looking to have armchair “doctors” diagnose me on Reddit. I’ve gone to several GI specialists, had labs, CTs, untrasounds, the whole shebang. The thing that seems to work for me is medium fiber meals. Please don’t suggest medical tips. Thank you.

Thank you.This is literally what you are asking for. I recommend working with your doctor, and supplementing you regular diet with the type and amount of fiber he/she recommends.
